Starting in January 2023, Colorado will have 7 representatives in the House of Representatives. The number of representatives each state has in the House is determined by its population.
The United States uses apportionment to allocate seats in the House of Representatives, with a fixed total of 435 seats. As the population of the country changes, the number of representatives for each state may also change. The Census Bureau conducts a national census every 10 years, with the most recent being in 2020. The Method of Equal Proportions formula is used to determine the number of representatives for each state. Colorado's population has grown, resulting in an additional representative for the 2023 session of the House of Representatives.
It's crucial to note that the number of representatives for each state can change after each census due to population shifts. Therefore, the number of representatives for Colorado could change again in future years due to population changes.
